Lyrics The "M" Word - Hostage Calm

The "M" Word

Is it true that he’ll never put a ring on you?
You’re abused, but is that the worst he’s done to you?
Oh no
It’s a sad time to be young
Knowing the worst has just begun
Meredith, do you really want to marry him?
This could end up an embarrassment
And you’ll have to keep his name
Meredith, do you think that he’ll be fair with it?
Because all I’ve heard is his disparagement towards «you and him»
But time isn’t on your side
Is it true that he’ll never put a ring on you?
You’re abused
Is that the worst he’s done to you?
Oh no
It’s a sad time to be young
Knowing the worst has just begun
Meredith, I know you feel the options narrowing
With no proposals, twenty’s harrowing
You can hear the whispers grow
But Meredith, it’s apparent that he’s scared of it
And always seconds from «the hell with it!»
Don’t be remiss, hanging with guys like him
Please bear in mind
To him that word brings back to life
Decades of unending fights
He’s prepared for as cold a war as his parents endured
So be careful when you put yourself out there
When you say, «I do»
He’ll say, «I do not know»
He’ll never put a ring on you
It’s a sad time to be young
Knowing the worst has just begun
Yeah, the worst has just begun
Knowing the worst has just begun
